Moncler

Founded in 1952 by René Ramillon, Moncler takes its name from the French Alpine town of Monestier-de-Clermont. Equipped for extreme weather, the brand cut its teeth producing quilted sleeping bags and tents, while the first quilted jackets were simply a means to keep workers warm on the slopes. Counting the French national downhill skiing team as clients, Moncler was bought in 2003 by Italian entrepreneur Remo Ruffini, who re-introduced the Moncler quilted jacket as a marker of superior style on and off the slopes. Gaining cult status for its lightweight down jackets across men’s, women’s and children’s styles, a Moncler jacket is designed to keep you warm and dry without adding bulk or unnecessary detail.
